Every business has to start somewhere.

You get going with what you can afford and, unless you’re a startup with angel investors, you make do until there’s some money actually coming in. Once business starts rolling along, it’s easy to forget about the website that got you launched.

Often, your first website is pretty basic. Maybe there wasn’t a budget to put it together, or a design student did it for peanuts, or a free website builder was used. Your site works, and may even look okay, but traffic has stalled. It’s time for a change.

It’s time to consider a new website if…

The site is difficult to maintain, which results in outdated, missing, or incorrect content. Out of date content detracts from your search ranking.

It’s not friendly to mobile devices such as tablets or smart phones.

Your site doesn’t have an SSL certificate. This is a feature modern browsers require and it’s a help with search optimization, too.

Website doesn’t match current marketing campaigns. Branding consistency is so important. If your site doesn’t showcase your new logo, use your colors or displays an old tagline, then it’s working against you, 24/7.

You’re not collecting new email contacts for marketing. Take advantage of email marketing by growing your email list.

Feeling insecure? Hacking and malware attacks are omnipresent. If your site is running the latest security package, it’s vulnerable to the bad guys.

Social share buttons are missing, or connections to your social media pages are absent.

Your content is out of date. Google looks for content that has been updated or is new. Adding video, slideshows or podcasts are great ways to increase online engagement and dynamically tell your business’s story.

Business contact info, hours or location is hard to find, or the contact page is missing. Hidden contact information is lost business. Make sure your phone, email, office location and business hours are clear and easy to find.

Site traffic is not being measured with Google Analytics. It’s free, easy to install and a must for monitoring any website health.

If your website meets 3 or more of the above criteria, it’s time to consider an upgrade.

Working with Fellene on my new website was a delight. She patiently and professionally guided me through the easy and the hard parts. She has great design sense as well as excellent web coding skills—a rare combination. I especially appreciated that she was on top of every detail, responded quickly to my requests, and was unflappable when I changed my mind.

I may be your sister but I’m still your biggest fan. I know you’re a fabulous designer. I applaud your ambition to follow your dream! Love you always.

I am very pleased with the site updates. Thank you so much!

David WatsonSonoma Jazz

At the end of the project she topped it off with a great training session build around a wonderful guide with everything I need to know to maintain the site. For companies, especially small one, who want a site that looks like it costs a lot, but want great value for a reasonable price, contact Fellene.

Fellene was great to work with and the website she created for me is exactly what I wanted! I couldn’t give anyone a higher recommendation.

Judith WildLanguage Diversity TrainerPortland,OR

Thanks so much for the great attention to detail and making sure all these small but critical things are working as they should! This is what separates the men from the boys in consulting work! Sorry to use such a sexist analogy, but it is so apt.

Sirus Media created my website in record time. Fellene Gaylord not only created a BEAUTIFUL website, she seemed to intuit on some grand level exactly what I was visioning. The process was so painless and her follow-up help so handy, that if I needed multiple sites, Sirius would be my go to for sure!
